DHB hack: Cancer patients face further delay, systems still down

From Checkpoint, 5:47 pm on 2 June 2021

Another delay for cancer patients needing radiation therapy at Waikato DHB as it announces it won't be back on until next week - three weeks after the cyber attack that took it offline.

It comes as the chief executive dismisses the idea that paying a ransom would have got the computer system back sooner.

IT systems are still down and won't be back this week.
